Be careful with your hand position when using a ceramic knife to cut the fish belly to avoid slipping and cuts.
Cut open the gills of the 3 saury fish and slice off the heads to remove the gills; carefully slice along the straight line on the fish belly to open the abdominal cavity, use the tip of the knife to thoroughly scrape out the entrails and blood, then wash the inside with water.
Watch out
You must cut along the straight line on the belly, otherwise you will easily cut through the fish bones and affect eating.
Scoop 3 tablespoons of rock salt with a spoon, apply it evenly on the surface and inside the bellies of the 3 saury fish, rubbing repeatedly until the fish is fully seasoned.
Watch out
Ensure the fish skin and inside/outside of the belly are evenly coated with salt during rubbing, otherwise some parts will lack flavor.
After baking, you must wear heat-resistant gloves when pulling the baking pan out of the oven to avoid burns.

The saury fish must be arranged in a single layer without overlapping, otherwise the overlapping parts will not heat evenly and remain uncooked inside.
Transfer the baked saury fish to a plate, cut 1 lemon, and squeeze an appropriate amount of lemon juice onto the fish according to personal taste to enhance flavor before serving.
Watch out
Pay attention to whether any lemon seeds fall into the fish meat when squeezing lemon juice to avoid affecting the texture.
